Reviewer #3 (Public review): Accessibility of the unstructured α-tubulin C-terminal tail is controlled by microtubule lattice conformation
Abstract
Three newly developed biosensors demonstrate that the C-terminal tail of α-tubulin does not freely extend from the microtubule surface as widely thought, but rather is inaccessible along most microtubules in cells.
